Expert Tips

Don't like crunchy peanut butter? Use creamy peanut butter instead.

For extra peanut buttery taste, stir 1/3 cup peanut butter chips into the brownie batter.

    The brownies turned out really good, if a little too rich for my taste. The frosting was excellent. I love the idea of peanut butter frosting! Overall, I would definitely recommend this recipe.
